The Irregulars Salute: The Anonymous California Baton-Twirler





(Above: Show off your sequins and carry a big stick.)

When a 17-year-old student was attacked by two muggers earlier this week, she whipped out her baton and left the men limping and bloody.

According to Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Michael Rust, "The moral to this story is don't mess with the marching band girls, or you just might get what you deserve."

Hey, my band teacher told me this story the other day! I am in the marching band at my school.

I'm in a marching band, but I don't twirl the baton. Maybe I should learn. (I also should send this post to my band director!)

Good for her!!

But the muggers will probably do something stupid like sue her. I heard about a burgler who sued a church when he twisted his ankle after robbing the place. Apparently he was frightened by the burgler alarm.

Some criminals...

Anonymous: You can get a car antenna! Muhahahahahahahaha! Give them a good whip!

Totally awesome! And as mentioned in Kiki Strike, high heels make a good tool/weapon for kicking... So now I shall choose high heels as well as sneakers.
Is it normal for an Irregular to like high heels? Do any of you like high heels? I recently started liking them..

REEL DANCER: (You asked me in the previous post, about the kitten). Well, it was going well. We gave it milk and put it next to the heater and everything, until one day the adults told us to put the kitten back outside, where it was freezing, and it died. It was very sad. Thank you for caring.

Irregular Kiki: Heels are good if they are the kind that can come out of your sneakers, like you just take it from the sole.
Speaking of irregulars, I'm gonna put a note in a kiki strike book from the nypl library. Hm. I wonder if anyone would find it...

Sometimes, jokingly, when I walk into my house at night after softball practice, I say, "Hello Mr.Burglar. By the way, I have a big bat." lol

I sent the article to my aunt; she likes success stories.

That is so awesome! This reminds of the story about a girl who was kidnapped, and she kicked, screamed, flailed, and punched so much that the kidnappers drove about a block, got fed up, and dropped her off. I think she got the license number & turned them in. :)
